Singapore Idol - Kelong?

SG Idol - Top 12

Finally, top 12 of the Singapore Idol are revealed. Certainly some surprises (read : Jerry Ong) & some predictables (read : Jeassea/Olinda). The Wildcard show sprung a surprise, i thought they would only be picking 2 from the show. One by the judges, another by the voters. In the end, the judges picked Beverly as well. Citing the lame reason that it would be an injustice to miss such a great talent in the show, what crap.

If she was a great talent, the voters would have voted her in much much earlier; in the 3rd piano show. However, i was really glad that Maia made it to the Top 12. She was one of my favourites. She can really sing & very versatile...go Maia babe!

I just feel sorry for Andy Josh, i thought he was cool too. He had a good voice & the looks too. Too bad, sorry for the dude.

Ok, since we already have the Top 12; here's my modest views of them.

1) Beverly - though she can sing rather well, i don't think the majority of the voters would like her as she's too likeable by the judges. That could be her downfall, the supporters of the other 11 would probably feel some hatred towards her.

2) Candice - she was really a surprise. I don't remember her from the auditions too. The only problem, she's just sweet & not recognisable/unforgettable enough. Plain Jane.

3) Taufik - honestly, i don't like him. He just sounded ok.

4) Jerry - hmm, i don't know where to put my finger on this. He does has a unique voice, i actually liked/enjoyed his song more the 2nd time he sang it; after they announced that he's in Top 12.

5) Olinda - oh my, she's cool & nice voice. Just worrying that she might not be able to carry the sentimental songs, if need be.

6) Daphne - baby of the group, she sounded like a baby too; with that nasal tone of hers.

7) Jeassea - she's cool, but she might just have been too hyped up by Dick Lee.

8) David - cute dude, good comedian with a rather nice voice.

9) Sylvester - hah, he was a surprise for me too. I thought either Nana or Beverly would go through by the voters' choice. Let's just see how far can he go with his mellow "ROCK" style.

10) Maia - single mum, great voice & versatility; need i say more? I'm liking her already.

11) Christopher - cute guy, don't know about the voice; kinda shaky.

12) Leandra - i liked her during the auditions when she sang that jazz number, she should have sticked to jazz.

Here you have it, my modest opinions. Enjoy the show in the next 3 months to come!
